🌟 Features Breakdown

📊 HUD & Visual Displays

  • Hotbar Durability Overlay — Displays exact numeric durability values over items in your hotbar. The number flashes red when an item is about to break (≤10% durability), and plays a warning sound at 5 durability left, so you never lose your gear by surprise.
  • Minimal FPS & Ping Display — A clean, unobtrusive overlay showing your current FPS, server ping, and in-game day/time, without cluttering your screen with the heavy F3 debug menu. Automatically hides itself while the real F3 screen is open.
  • Custom Crosshair — Six shapes to choose from (dot, circle, cross, plus, square, triangle), adjustable size, static color, or a smooth rainbow RGB cycling mode. Toggle it anytime with a dedicated keybind.
  • Custom Block Highlight — Replaces the faint default black outline with a bright, fully customizable border (or the same rainbow RGB cycling mode). Perfect for building in the Nether, underwater, or in dark caves.
  • Attack Cooldown Indicator — A small bar under your crosshair showing how charged your weapon's next hit is.
  • Bow & Crossbow Ammo Counter — Shows the total number of arrows in your inventory while drawing a bow or holding a charged crossbow. Toggleable.
  • Status Effect Timers — A clean custom list showing every active potion effect with its remaining time, positioned away from the vanilla icons so nothing overlaps.

🎒 Inventory, Storage & Loot

  • One-Click Inventory Sort — A sort button appears on chests, barrels, shulker boxes, hoppers, and dispensers/droppers. Groups your items by type in one click — done through real, server-safe clicks, so nothing ever desyncs.
  • Item Despawn Timer — A live floating countdown appears above dropped items so you always know how many seconds remain before your loot disappears.
  • Furnace Cook Timer — Shows exactly how many seconds remain until your current smelting/cooking job finishes, right above the arrow in any furnace, smoker, or blast furnace.

🛡️ Player Protection & Safety

  • Drop Lock — Prevents accidental drops (Q) of valuable items — any enchanted gear, and raw valuables like diamonds, netherite, totems, and elytra — even if they're not enchanted. Requires holding Shift + Q or double-tapping Q to actually drop them.
  • Confirm Disconnect — Adds a safety confirmation prompt before quitting to title during combat, a fall, or Elytra flight, so an accidental click can't cost you your run. Can also be set to always ask, regardless of danger.
  • Death History Log — Press a hotkey (N by default) to open a full log of every death: date, time, coordinates, and cause, with a one-click coordinate copy button on every entry. Saved locally, so it survives between sessions.

🕹️ Smart Controls & Automation

  • Smart Auto-Tool — Automatically switches to the correct tool in your hotbar when hitting blocks (pickaxe for stone, axe for wood, and so on).
  • One-Click Coords Copy — Press a hotkey (F6 by default) to instantly copy your exact X, Y, Z coordinates to your clipboard, as plain text or a ready /tp command.
  • Spawner Range Overlay — Look at a monster spawner to see its 16-block activation range highlighted on the ground.

🔗 Extras

  • Modrinth Quick-Link Button — An optional small button on the main menu that opens this mod's Modrinth page in your browser. Fully toggleable.
